We have absolutely loved our history learning this week. It is so important to remember everyone involved in the war and all that they did for us. We have learnt about the importance of the poppy and created our own poppy wreath. We learnt about the other colours of poppies people wear at this time and what they represent.

We designed our own medals and learnt about why our brave soldiers were given different medals.

We listened to war time music. We talked about how the music made us feel and that the songs were created to make the soldiers feel happy. As we played the music the children had to draw the images in their head the songs made them see.

It has been a really insightful week for the children, learning lots about various aspects of the war. They have really enjoyed it.

Have a lovely and safe weekend,

The Year One team
